If you are a developer and you are interested in phpBB Social Network, please let us know. We need you. We want to start working on completely new phpBB Social Network for phpBB3.1 but we are only 2, so we can not manage it ourself anymore.

This modification is modular based what means that admin can switch on/off each of the modules above. If you want just Instant Messenger on your site, you can install the whole phpBB Social Network and switch on only the Instant Messenger or other module which you like.

The installation of phpBB Social Network takes only a minute. You just have to copy all new files to your phpbb root, modify few template files and run the database update script. phpBB Social Network is also AutoMOD friendly it means that you can install it using AutoMOD in few seconds. If you need more instructions how to install, we have prepared the Installation Guide for you.
